3 Day Stuck Pipe Prevention

Transcription

1 3 Day Stuck Pipe Prevention Dr. Qamar J. Sharif B.Sc Mining Engineering M.Sc Petroleum Engineering PhD. Petroleum Engineering

2 This 3-Day course is designed with the simple phrase in mind: Prevention is Better than Cure. The course provides a comprehensive understanding of three stuck pipe mechanisms, causes leading to each mechanism, and recognition of warning signs. Participants will learn how to perform the trend analysis and learn to listen to the well by understanding the language of the well. The course includes a stuck pipe mechanism identification table and recommends the first actions for each mechanism. Stuck pipe case histories are included to enhance the learning. The course also covers knowledge of the formations and borehole instability problems and recommends guidelines to empower the driller on best tripping practices. We recommended that the course is taken by the rig team together, as a team building exercise as well as an opportunity to improve communication skills. This operations-oriented training emphasizes a proactive approach to stuck pipe prevention. It teaches how to listen to the well and perform trend analysis. The course also focuses on how to detect the causes leading to stuck pipe at an early stage and what preventive actions to take before full sticking occurs. What will this course cover? The course emphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs at an early stage and taking PREVENTIVE actions before the sticking takes place. It is designed to increase the knowledge and competency of the drilling crews. It empowers the drilling crew to perform correct diagnosis, improve communication, and take the correct First Actions to prevent stuck pipe incidents. Studies have shown that about 90% of stuck pipe incidents can be freed with appropriate First Actions within the first 4 hours of sticking. The course also includes the effective use of drilling jars and understanding of pump open force. What will you learn? On completion of this course you will be able to fully understand how to: Identify the three sticking mechanisms and their causes Recognize the sticking causes at an early stage and what preventive actions to take before full sticking develops Understand the fundamentals of hole cleaning Discover techniques of stuck pipe prevention Learn to listen to the well Perform trend analysis of drilling parameters Read a stratigraphic column with identification of potential problem formations Review case histories with in-depth analysis. Understand the workings of drilling jars, pump open force, and jarring load calculations Appreciate the team approach and the need for good communication Identify the sticking mechanism and what First Actions to take to free a stuck pipe Who will benefit? The following oil and gas company personnel will benefit from the knowledge shared in this course: Drilling crews Rig Managers Drilling Foreman Drilling engineers Mud engineers Wellsite geologists Directional drillers Drilling contractors staff 808 W.

4 Dr. QAMAR J. SHARIF Dr. Sharif is a petroleum engineering specialist with Saudi Aramco. He has over 35 years of practical experience in the oil and gas industry, including academia. He has diversified background in drilling, workover and completion operations, research, technology development and implementation, field development planning, well cost estimation, contracts and contracting strategy for oil and gas operations. He started his career on a steam-powered rig as a trainee drilling engineer in He worked as Assistant driller, driller and tour pusher on offshore drilling rigs in Abu-Dhabi, U.A.E. After working 11 years in operations he joined graduate school and earned his MS and PhD in Petroleum Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. He has a unique blend of hands-on field operations and academic knowledge. He worked with Shell International Exploration and Production (SIEP) in Houston and was a recipient of the Shell President Award for premier performance for design and implementation of multi-string steam injection well design at Bakersfield, California. Dr. Sharif has been involved in new joint ventures startup, product line development, commercialization strategy for Enventure GT, an Expandable Tubular Company (a JV between Shell and Halliburton). He deployed the first expandable casing, downhole. He worked with Shell Nigeria, Farcodus Yokri Project, Warri and reduced well completion time by more than 50% for dual completions. He has expertise in developing novel ideas and transforming them into robust and practical solutions. He has been teaching stuck pipe prevention and lost time reduction course and conducted an awareness campaign for offshore drilling department. He has been involved in teaching undergraduate and graduate courses at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM), Petroleum Engineering Department, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. He brings out the best in his students. He served as Curriculum Advisor - Well Construction discipline, representing Saudi Aramco with PetroSkills. EDUCATION B.Sc Mining Engineering, M.
